Background: FABP4/A-FABP

FABP-4 (fatty acid binding protein-4; also Adipocyte-type FABP, ALBP and aP2) is a 14-15 kDa member of the fatty acid binding protein family, calycin superfamily of molecules. It is expressed by adipocytes, macrophages, monocyte-derived DC and myoepithelial cells, and is known to serve as a carrier for select PPAR gamma fatty acid ligands as they enter the nucleus. These ligands, or fatty acids, facilitate PPAR gamma -mediated gene transcription. Mouse FABP-4 is 132 amino acids (aa) in length. It is a two beta -sheet molecule that contains an NLS (aa 22-32) and a fatty acid binding segment (aa 127-129). Mouse FABP-4 is 94% and 92% aa identical to rat and human FABP-4, respectively.
